Which term refers to Filipinos working abroad in various sectors?

• A. Overseas Filipino Workers
• B. Global Competence
• C. International Education Initiative
• D. Monitoring Progress

Answer: (A)

Overseas Filipino Workers are Filipinos who work outside the Philippines in a wide range of sectors, from domestic service to professional and technical fields. This label is the standard term used in government, media, and everyday discourse to describe Filipinos who take jobs abroad, often for extended periods and sometimes temporarily, with remittances playing a significant role in the Philippine economy. The other options describe different ideas (global competence, international education programs, or general progress tracking) and do not refer specifically to Filipinos working overseas, so they don’t fit the context of this question.
